Final Fitting for Matt's Callaway Mavrik Driver

[@matthewkane7524]

My first day off in 6 weeks, cold beer in hand, feet up, watching TXG videos #perfect 💯

[@reidbrian08]

I have never had a fitting like this. I'm convinced that 99% of fittings done for amateurs players are done by amateur fitters.

[@davefawkes8884]

Reggie Salad 100% agree.... I go to Scott Gourlay (Ian’s mate 😉) at SGGT in Edinburgh. There are 1000’s of so called fitters, but so few of them are really good and so many just want to sell you something.

[@aidanmccabe1981]

Correct, I've been fit for clubs and been very disappointed with the detail after watching the TXG process!

[@dann9399]

agree also big time

[@paraconda94]

You do have to factor in, that it’s difficult with high handicap players. The swings are so inconsistent. As a fitter...some like Matt is super easy to fit

[@dann9399]

@@paraconda94 yes that is true personally for me, I currently play off 1, at worst get out to 5 or 6 sometimes, been fitted professionally 3 times by 3 different professionals with trackman involved and so on.. and never quit seen it done to this extent, example, working with the sleeve options as well! As sharft together for the right fit, and just just with loft but also lie, and swing weight side of things also, they always just give you a few sharft options, maybe move a weight here or there if the driver head has that option, maybe move loft down a degree or up, Go thats good I think for you, bye thanks for coming $$, next person please.

[@maamold]

I've had 4 fittings. 2 by a Titleist rep, 1 by a course that had a fitting center and 1 by an off-course fitter. Only the off-course fitter seemed like he cared but none of them show the absolute enthusiasm for fitting the right club for a person. Thanks for the video Ian and Matt.

[@benross422]

Watching this 2 years after the video was made, Matty's driver swing looks way better now than in this video. A testament to all the hard work on the swing. Now just need to get the speed back!

[@robwelton6912]

There is just something just so therapeutic about watching Matt hit golf balls....i live vicariously through you guys.

[@stlc3415]

Love to see the actual build of Matty's driver. Like to watch the magic with the hot meld and tweaking of the head!

[@clubchampionmedia]

Will do our best to film it if we can!

[@miltontaylor7750]

3 wood bracket men? This was so good why not? Matt doesn't have to play it but it would be cool to see.

[@cubuffs5601]

It wins the bracket, it goes in the bag. Them's the rules!

[@skylarsteel91]

Milton Taylor I second this please!

[@LeprechaunGinger]

Great call, would love to see driving iron battle and 3 wood battle. Also 5 wood battle!

[@StraightLEFTfromPAC]

Sim will win easily

[@skylarsteel91]

StraightLEFTfromPAC it did for me. Kicked the TS3 3wood out of the bag

[@JohnnyDSR]

#4 Black and Blue with blue major accent is a nice way to cap off all the time you have invested in this journey. #1 also for the minimalist in you Cheers! good luck enjoyed the heck out fo the series!

[@tommyboyd6189]

The best golf channel by far , Ian/Matt know so much information about the equipment.... although still get angry that Matt can drive a ball so good every time 👏

[@thejuniorcollector2426]

This is a great representation of "does the golf shaft matter" question. Yes both shafts were solid, but it is really a place where fine tuning can be done to achieve a desired trait (anti-hook in Matt's case). On a side note: I just received my Callaway Custom Driver last October and went with a full Yellow and Black combo to match my shaft and grip setup. The cost was nuts, but it does look really cool.

[@Mitch3515]

Looks to be a deadly combo! Can't wait to see the finished product all assembled and ripping some drives down the middle!

[@farmerpewpew]

"...with the grip where it feels like you can't hit it leh.....right..." I love it. I have been such a fan since I discovered you guys. bought head covers as soon as I found out you guys sold them. what is real neat is a guy I play in a league with recognized them. I thought that was wild as I didn't expect him to pay attention to this kid of thing, you guys are reaching large audiences. keep it up!

[@clubchampionmedia]

Thanks Nicholas!!!

[@aidanmccabe1981]

Shout out to Mattys stamina! Anyone who has been fit for a driver will be in awe of how he is not pumping sweat and still swinging pure after 15 shots🤣

[@hondab16tuner]

Very few people I could watch swing over extended periods of time. Mr. Matt is one of them. Seeing how he generates his speed is so nice. When I book my fitting, after the crazy goes away, the only thing I ask is that I get to see Matt smash a few! LOL

[@Skorelions]

I was pulling for the Ping G410 but Callaway is amazing too. Great great video, wish our local shops would fit people like this.

[@michaelhorner912]

I now mimic Mattys driver swing it’s just the fat guy version.Well stocky version I should say. Its worked out well and a lot of time in the mirror. Now I’m working on the iron swing. It’s not working so well but just started. Thanks a lot for the videos. Awesome stuff.

[@bencuff6368]

michael horner same here except the 5’ 6” 15 year old version, I’m about 5-6 mph off on club head speed but hopefully I can get there.

[@robpottergolf]

Right.....the saving begins to come over to Coburg from the UK to see the family and come pay you guys a visit for a fitting on new irons and driver possibly next year or the year after.

[@TommyDawson]

Accra doesn't get the love it deserves. Glad to see it.

[@kylesinclair203]

I put ACCRA into play on my irons. Wow!!! Never looking back!

[@petercooper6411]

Another quality production! Ian, thanks for bringing the Accra brand to our laptops. I've changed to TZ6's in Driver and 3 wood and it has been a very welcome change.

[@glennwisse6271]

Super video. Great to actually see how all these fitting factors come into play. Really enjoyed this.

[@danmagruder358]

Matching those numbers. A first for me. Good stuff boys.

[@BVIGrockle]

TXG just looks like a golf nut's theme park. great stuff as always guys

[@TheMuffs2004]

Simon Hudd Is never be able to travel to Canada to have the guys from TXG fit me but there’s a few Top 100 fitters here in GA that Ian and Matt have inspired me to go see after I get the money saved up. I’ve only ever had one driver fitted past the extremely basic “free” in store fitting and to this day it was the best driver I ever had. I can only imagine what an entire bag would do for me.

[@BVIGrockle]

@@TheMuffs2004 I've been fortunate to have a whole bag fitted by a combination of Precision Golf in the UK, TrueSpec golf in New York and Edel Golf for the putter. I appreciate a top custom fit setup and would love to spend some time at TXG if ever in Canada

[@fergusreeverealestate.7409]

Simon Hudd I had an edel putter fit. Game changer.

[@BVIGrockle]

@@fergusreeverealestate.7409 agreed. no excuses now, i know straight is straight according to my perception. if i miss its down to green reading or my stroke!

[@fergusreeverealestate.7409]

Simon Hudd 100%! That’s the beauty of a fitted putter... misses are all on you

[@BurghBeezer94]

Assuming we get to golf sometime this spring/summer, I plan on trying Lamkin TS1 Midsize grips (57g) as they are only 4 grams heavier than the standard TS1 (53g) grips. Just trying to get appropriate sized grips without drastic swing weight change; those Golf Pride MCC+4 grips are 66g in midsize verses 52g in standard.

[@shawn6454]

I’d like to see a Wedge bracket play off.

[@morgancross5481]

I love that you addressed the right miss in the fitting as I was afraid that would creep back in without that heavily fade biased G410 setup. The grip/shaft/face angle adjustments seemed spot on!

[@thomasveal3351]

More brackets please! I cannot wait to see the finished product including the sleeve adjustment. Matty - What adjustments are you making on your swing? Perhaps, a segment on your swing evolution with Larry would be interesting for everyone.

[@justinstephenson9360]

I love seeing the level of detail that goes into fitting Matt - and that is with someone who Ian knows down to the nth degree what his golfing tendencies are. I just never see this level of detail anywhere else As for colour scheme - option 4

[@mattdalpozzo2312]

Hi Ian and Matt, love your videos. Learn something from every one. I just wanted to touch on the midsize grip fitting. Do you advocate going a slightly larger grip in the driver compared to the rest of the set for the majority of golfers, or is this just specific to Matt because you know his swing inside out. Thanks.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Matt Dal Pozzo no Matt, this would be rare advice.

[@mattdalpozzo2312]

Thanks for your response Ian.

[@craigdempsey9133]

Another great fit. I can only imagine what it's like to smooth out some 300 yard carry drives. Swing is looking very consistent @matt_blois.

[@nickmarr1]

Great insights, as always, chaps. Looks like a superb set up. Love the grey and blue head accent option. A deadly, if pricey, weapon to wield on the course, Matt. ⛳️

[@DanielRodrigues-hn8cx]

Great video! That combo is so smooth and provides a great flight!

[@michaelsimoncelli588]

Hey fellas, great content! Can’t tell you how much I’ve learned for your channel. I’ve recently gotten a full bag fitting and I was looking at drivers and I grabbed the Cobra F9 w/ hazard smoke in a stiff flex. Since this is an off the shelf shaft with this driver would you recommend trying to get fitted for other shafts or would this suffice until I’m able to get my handicap much lower.... currently a 10 handicap

[@clubchampionmedia]

worth looking at in a fitting for sure

[@johanmelander4521]

Could you guys talk more about what launch and spin is preferable depending on swing speed and what you're able to tweek with the shaft, loft and clubhead settings? I would also love a more in deapth conversation regarding peak heightsand other details in what you're looking for when fitting. To exemplify. Person X has a 104 mph swing speed. This is ideal launch, height spin etc. If these numbers are off by Y how are you able to tweek them with loft, lie, shaft, weights etc. Person Y has a 91 mph swing speed. What is different in terms of what numbers you want to see. Love watching what you do, but would really appreciate more details. Many thanks!!!

[@gilquevillon5441]

Not sure where can vote but 4 is my pick n really like ur videos. Keep up the great work 👍

[@banditbaker1675]

Just Freaky Deaky Awesome Guys!!!!!!!!

[@keithkatz1350]

Super cool can't wait to vote🏌 Thanks guys stay safe cheers from sheltered in place in NorCal 🙏

[@heytroyyy]

When you switched to the MCC+4 Midsize grip, did you add additional head-weight to compensate the heavier grip? I recall the 4g of lead tape for the baseline test, did you then add more on top of that? If so, how much did you add to the naked head weight?

[@purrly8578]

I was wondering this exact same thing!

[@clubchampionmedia]

didn't add more headweight after no - we'll probably aim for about D3 or so in the finished driver so we'll adjust the custom weight port or hotmelt accordingly

[@sammyjankiss287]

Love to see a 2020 game improvement irons bracket. Probably not the only one too.

[@keithfinley2939]

A 3 wood bracket with the new distance minus offline and tee/deck split would be really great

[@jonathangriffiths758]

Hi guys all the way from the UK I've been following the channel for a month or so and the content is excellent I'm hooked also by watching the channel I've found larry cheung keep up the fantastic work and content guys you guys are different class 👊👍👌

[@michaelcurtis4302]

Love this channel. So informative and really good analytical advice and make it understandable for silly golf nufties like me.

[@billglab9044]

Great vid fellas, great fitting.

[@ericft1]

What will happen with the lead tape for swingweight? Hotmelt I assume or are there different weights for the head? maybe hotmelt with toe bias to additionally help eliminate the hook.

[@clubchampionmedia]

Will either be done through hot melt or possibly a custom weight option if it works out with the available weights we can swap out

[@anthonymolitor3647]

A fairway wood bracket would be phenomenal!!

[@samuellee6686]

Was fitted to shafts in the 70g X-Stiff range, ended up going for the Tour Z RPG 462 M5+ and feels phenomenal! How does the RPG 462 M5+ compare to a ventus black 7x in the EI curve? Does the M5+ play more like a double x?

[@brentninedorf6617]

Like the custom options. Reminded me of how my wife asks me where I (debatable) want to go out for dinner (where she leads with three options she is OK with). 😀😁. Looks very solid and steady with some soon to be determined killer personal looks.

[@hanwalter4065]

Is it common to see bigger grips in woods? I have a midsize on my driver and had one on my old 4 wood, but standard in all my irons and wedges. I always liked it but it worried my coach a bit when he first saw that my grips were different

[@chrisjung609]

Just watched and great informative fitting. Question, when you added MCC +4 grip, did you have to adjust the Swing Weight to match what he had with smaller grip? thanks

[@texmex697]

Who'd have thought Matt's Ping would be just a distant memory 😢. Great vid again.

[@scottyeaman6307]

Great bracket and very insightful gents.... would love to see the big man play off greens or yellows on that hole.... he might find that a tougher smash!!!!!

[@grimwalrus9410]

So for someone who also hit 3-5 up/path well from the inside but struggles with push fades (Hzrdus Black), what shaft would you recommend that helps turn it over a bit rather than leave it open? Great video boys!

[@cubuffs5601]

Matt seemed to really like the TPT Red the other day. Why did you decide not to look at it?

[@clubchampionmedia]

did some more testing with it that day, was good but just not quite the results of ventus and RPG so we didn't include it in this session

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Option 4 with that colour shaft will look awesome

[@BW-ze3mg]

I've noticed Matt's swing has changed to where he stops his hands just above and outside his shoulder and his driver stops more upright in his back swing than he used to. I'm guessing this was an adjustment for timing. What changed? Was he leaving the club face too open when he took a more full back swing?

[@luisrepreza174]

Matt, you're absolutely right about the drive head color. A more neutral color will make it look like a real driver. Callaway, no offense but the orange doesn't do a favor to the driver's performance. I wish TXG were here in Texas 🏌️‍♂️⛳👍

[@fiscis]

considering efficiency ... any speculation why the Cal heads seem to read higher on CHS on Quad? ... I know some head shapes produce higher speeds on my TM4 and I have a pretty good idea why that is happening, but what would cause Quad to read a face wrong?

[@JPMoon]

Matty, off the tee you're looking hella strong straight away!! Let's get it!!

[@milanboskovic9618]

Great video guys. Could you do a video analysis on Matt's swing and show it from various angles. Thanks

[@kostasviastikopoulos217]

What midsize grip was it on the driver . I have tried the mcc midsize plus 4 . Wondered if this was a tapered or non tapered midsize . I also got a cp2 midsize on my cobra and I was finding I could swing hard with the midsize and didn't really hook it at all

[@CedricEHan]

That shaft again !!! Really starting to wonder if I didn’t try it too late in the process ...

[@jeffmunn9729]

Would consider adding even more weight to the head since you put a mid grip on? Or did the SW not change

[@clubchampionmedia]

yes we would, we'll take a lot at that with the final build

[@thevisionaryelitist]

Nice guys 👌 Is this tour sleeve readily available across the pond too?

[@clubchampionmedia]

should be through certain custom shops

[@mooremike44]

Did you not feel like you needed to add head weight with the heavy Plus 4 midsized grip. I like the plus 4 midsized but I am always worried about reducing the swing weight too much.

[@clubchampionmedia]

i think we'll have a look at that with the final build, felt good as is with the fitting club though

[@whogg0521]

Alright Matty Boy, can't wait to hear how your game improves.

[@GSHOCKOUTDOORS]

Great video! I'd vote for a fairway wood bracket. Would love to see the major players up against each other. I guess 3 wood at 15* would be the most commonly played? I've personally found gapping and spin profile the hardest with fairway woods and the numbers could prove very useful for is all?

[@phillipthompson4253]

The blue custom design would set up nicely with that blue shaft ...

[@LeprechaunGinger]

We need a major 3 wood bracket battle and Driving iron battle!

[@boober7270]

Good job guys👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Like the look of that accura

[@JHOLE21]

If you’re looking for video thoughts.... may I suggest how the MP18 SC compares to the MP 20 MMC. Is there a large enough difference to warrant an upgrade?

[@joegarza1835]

What VA shaft would you recommend for a high handicap player with a 90 mile and hour swing speed? Looking to cut down my slices and hit more fairways. I have a smooth take away but more aggressive follow through. Thanks in advance.

[@ramonrodriguez7622]

I would love to have a fitting from Ian. I think it would just give you a ton of confidence since he can just dial you in.

[@stephenhannah6510]

Great video guys....could I ask does Matt purposely stop his backswing short, I’m 55 and I am basically able to see the driver head before I stop the backswing..my driver is most erratic part of my game..maybe a shorter backswing like Matt May help?

[@clubchampionmedia]

yes it is on purpose, might be worth trying if you find you're struggling to control the driver

[@stephenhannah6510]

Thanks, did you ever do a video on his swing changes and why he was doing them?, I’ve just watched a video from 2 years ago and his club head was where mine is now...

[@mvansb23]

You feel confident that shaft still works if Matty gets back to 175 average? I suppose 3 or 4 percent more speed is probably less a concern on a fit than changes to a swing that alter delivery characteristics?

[@clubchampionmedia]

that shaft is one of the stiffest profiles we have on the wall so should be all good even if there's more speed added

[@Jjwalways70]

Ian the height to swing speed is this also for irons ?

[@stephprime]

Guys I love your stuff! I would love to have a fitting center with Pros like you are here in Germany! I would LOVE to spent my money in your center! :)

[@golf007sd2]

Great fit. As to the option of the head...go with #4

[@roniwankovitsch]

OK. How about hitting a few box sets. This would be quite interesting. It would definitely be a look at the expensive club's results!!!

[@Golfnutter]

Guys, you said something very interesting, for tour pros driver clubhead speed should equal trajectory. What other clubs does this apply to, if any?

[@fergusreeverealestate.7409]

go for head no1. I am doing a custom shop too in black and white to match the stock shaft... cant wait!! Until I can afford Accra tour tz5 Proto 65 M5 custom shaft lol....

How do you fix the swing weight without lead tape?

[@michaelwalsh7753]

I’d love to see a video of the ST200G with head weights in different settings for common swing faults along with ball data on weight settings.

[@2009Stefon]

Wedge bracket?

[@thatguymark8381]

Your comments about swing changes after bracket testing got me thinking about the Home Run Derby in MLB. Seems like every year one of the players who participates in the home run derby "loses" his everyday functional swing. Anyway, this is a vote for color option 3

[@rickcudmore8156]

Would you install the same shaft and grip on Matt's fairway wood and hybrid since this combination prevented him from going right?

[@clubchampionmedia]

definitely something we will test and consider

Ian, question for you. I swing a Hzdrus yellow 6.5, 76 grams G400 max at 113-115 mph average. Is the Accra Tour Z RPG Matty is swinging similar to the Hzrdus? Also, is that the 472 M5 or M5+? Love the channel, look forward to hearing from you.

[@clubchampionmedia]

This was the 462 M5+. HZRDUS is more stiff in the tip, softer in the butt, and lower torque.
